WALKTHROUGH VIDEO

Watch the Full System Running Live

A complete screen recording showing the pipeline from git push to zero-downtime production deploy. Includes Grafana dashboard reacting in real time

— THE PROBLEM

What Was Breaking Before I Arrived

Every deployment required a 2-hour manual checklist with 3 engineers

Intermittent failures under peak traffic with zero rollback strategy

No automated testing before any production deploy

Zero visibility into failures, just guessing and weekend firefighting

Team was afraid to deploy, on Fridays or any day

— MY SOLUTION

What I Built — Step by Step

01

Full Audit

Mapped every manual step and identified all failure points

02

Pipeline Design

New CI/CD with GitHub Actions, Docker, AWS ECS

03

Test Coverage

Automated unit, integration and smoke tests before every deploy

04

Zero Downtime

Blue-green deployment with instant rollback capability

What the Client Said

★★★★★

Bisma didn’t just set up our CI/CD pipeline, she rewrote how we think about deployments. We went from dreading Fridays to shipping twice a day without a second thought. Documentation left behind is better than most senior hires.
